- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,July 09 2024]
In many films including Ajanilee, Chhailla Babu, Jaanwar, and Aashiq Hoon Baharon Ka, Zeenat Aman and Rajesh Khanna featured together. Zeenat recently came clean about her first anxiety about working with the singer. She told Film Companion she felt totally intimidated by Rajesh Khanna when she was a novice.
Attended by seasoned actor Shabana Azmi as well, the host of the interview inquired how they guarantee a good job even with others on set struck by stars. Zeenat related her story, stating, Rajesh Khanna was the phenomenon when I initially started in the film business. I painstakingly committed all of my lines to memory to avoid error. Though I didn't show it, he really scared me. I went up to him and gave a performance. Thinking afterwards, Wow, I just did a scene with a superstar, I felt successful. You should be in that correct mindset.
Zeenat underlined her liking for working with directors and fellow performers. She called Shabana Azmi this lady here (points to Shabana)... She is a royal in performance. It was delightful to see her work. She grabs what is handed to her and shines.
Bun Tikki, Zeenat's next production, will include Abhay Deol and Shabana Azmi. Under Faraz Arif Ansari's direction-known for Sheer Qorma-(2021)-Manish Malhotra's Stage 5 Production is producing the film.
